StephanL Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Is it possible to blow apart a 3D symbol (ie. a piece of furniture) and take one part and apply it to another symbol? If so, how?

Chief_Content Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi @StephanL ! There isn't really a specific tool in the Chief Architect Software family explicitly for breaking up components from existing objects. You may be able to find different elements like feet, hardware, doors/panels, etc. in 3D Library to use to assemble new objects. Here are some catalog that have 'bits and pieces' to get you started, there are many more/other options too! Cabinet Doors Cabinet Doors No.2 Cabinet Feet Cabinet Hardware 1 Cabinet Hardware 2 There are plenty of clever Chief Architect users here who have devised ways to do more intensive modeling within Chief Architect Premier. You may find that there are some limitation in the available feature set in Home Designer Pro, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 You can use the Delete Surfaces tool to temporarily delete the parts of the symbol you don't want. You can then save what is left as a symbol for reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you may not have all of these tools in HDP. Try looking for the answers with the https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/5-qa/ hometalk forum which is designed for Home Designer Pro.
